5 year development plan

For all the propulsive destruction and pinpoint gunplay of acclaimed shooters like Call of Duty or Counter-Strike, they don’t let you experience the physicality or limitations of a soldier’s body. You might as well be a floating gun, for the most part. When you step into the pilot’s seat in Piranha Games’ upcoming MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, however, you feel every tonne of the giant robot you control: smashing your way through buildings with comic ease, lurching around drunkenly as you take a full five seconds to change your heading while rockets detonate against your flank. If, like me, you haven’t played a MechWarrior game in over a decade, trying to wrap your head and fingers around the game’s chunky, tank-like move-and-shoot control scheme can prove a tad galling at first. The game encourages you to throttle your mech forward in one direction while aiming and blasting ordnance in another, which takes a little getting used to, but becomes as … [Read more...] about How MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries’ creators plan to re-arm the series

The first beta build of DayZ has hit the experimental branch with new base building, "player restraining" and vehicle updates. "I'm excited about this first step to a more polished gameplay experience with more endgame goals to achieve" writes lead producer Eugen Harton in a DayZ blog post.The 0.63 update will hit the default stable branch imminently and after that the developers plan to concentrate on fixing the game. "While features are in, their functionality is often broken," Harton admits. "We know that's what makes or breaks a game, and now is exactly the time to get that fixed. During this period of stabilization and iteration, you'll see the game change around the details that matter."The team plans a period of stability from the beta through to a 1.0 release, which means most of the core features and items are now in the game. Remarkably the plan is for DayZ to get to 1.0 before the year is out. "While there are large numbers of issues left, only about 600 of them are crucial … [Read more...] about After nearly 5 years, DayZ finally moves into beta

Well, there are so many games in my gaming library that I haven’t even booted yet. I blame Steam for it, the platform offers so many discounts and deals every now and then. People end up buying games they do not need or plan to ever play. Writing this article makes me think just how much money I spent on Steam games that I haven’t played. I haven’t touched WWE 2K18, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Homefront The Revolution, Assassin’s Creed 3, Orion, just to name a few. Steam doesn’t refund games after a certain period of time, and it takes some time before a person comes to his senses and realize he wasted a lot of money. But there can be a silver lining if the game itself offers an achievement for not playing it. While I personally think every game should have this achievement, right now, only one does, The Stanley Parable. On October 17, 2013, this game released on Steam and today, it’s October 17, 2018. It has been five years which means if you … [Read more...] about Get The Steam Achievement For Not Playing A Game for 5-Years

In a recent interview director, Cory Barlog mentioned that he had 5 God of War games planned in his head. This led to speculation that developers are considering 5 more games in the series. However, that seemed a bit too much. Clarifying his statement, Barlog mentioned that reality is much different from the speculations made in the interview. When requested by a fan not to make 5 games as it will hurt the overall quality of the series, Barlog said that making “5 games would literally kill me.” ok. to be honest, 5 games would literally kill me. you can rest assured the reality is going to be more measured than the speculation in the @kotaku discussion. — Cory Barlog ?️ #GodofWar (@corybarlog) April 30, 2018 It is believed that the current God of War game would lead to two more entries before the series is put on hiatus again. And while making 5 games is not something Barlog would actually go for, he says that making future games would be considerably faster … [Read more...] about Making 5 God of War Games “Would Literally Kill Me,” Says Cory Barlog
